Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Crust:

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ¼ cup sugar
• ⅓ cup butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 8 oz white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
• ½ cup blueberry jam

For Garnish:

• Whipped cream
• Fresh blueberries
• Mint leaves

Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• 9-inch springform pan
• Electric mixer or stand mixer
• Mixing bowls (various sizes)
• Rubber spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Saucepan (to melt white chocolate)
• Wire cooling rack
• Offset spatula (optional for spreading jam)
• Sharp knife

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 160°C (325°F). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside. You can also line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2: Prepare the Crust

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix until fully combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared pan. You can use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to smooth it evenly.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling

Using a mixer, beat softened cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy—this usually takes 2-3 minutes. Add vanilla extract and mix again. One at a time, add the eggs, beating well after each. Stir in the cooled melted white chocolate and sour cream. Fold in the fresh blueberries gently to avoid crushing them.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

Pour the cheesecake batter over your prepared crust and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles. Bake for 55–60 minutes or until the center is almost set—it should jiggle slightly. Do not overbake.

Step 5: Cool the Cheesecake

Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife carefully around the edge of the pan to loosen. Cool for an additional hour, then refrigerate overnight for best texture and flavor.

Step 6: Serve

Just before serving, spread blueberry jam over the top of the chilled cheesecake. Garnish with whipped cream, extra fresh blueberries, and a few sprigs of mint for a beautiful, bakery-worthy presentation.

Pro Tips for Success

• Use room temperature ingredients: This ensures a smooth, lump-free batter.
• Avoid overmixing after eggs are added: Overbeating can incorporate too much air, causing cracks.
• Use a water bath: Optional, but it helps prevent cracking and promotes even baking.
• Cool gradually: Sudden temperature changes can cause the cheesecake to sink or crack.
• Make ahead: Cheesecake is best after chilling overnight, making it perfect for prepping in advance.

Substitutions and Variations

• Crust alternatives: Try crushed vanilla wafers or shortbread cookies instead of graham crackers.
• Fruit swaps: Raspberries or blackberries work beautifully in place of blueberries.
• Chocolate variation: Swap white chocolate for dark or milk chocolate if you prefer a richer base.
• Jam topping: If blueberry jam isn’t available, try a mixed berry or even lemon curd for a tart contrast.

Storage and Leftovers

Store any leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To freeze, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

What to Serve With White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake

• Coffee or Espresso: The slight bitterness cuts through the richness of the cheesecake.
• Sparkling Wine or Champagne: Adds a festive touch and pairs beautifully with berries.
• Herbal Tea: Chamomile or mint tea complements the fresh mint garnish and balances the sweetness.
• Vanilla Bean Ice Cream: For an ultra-decadent dessert plate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Yes, but be sure to thaw and drain them thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the batter. Coat them lightly in flour before folding in to prevent sinking.

How do I know when my cheesecake is done?

The edges should be set and the center should jiggle slightly like Jell-O. Don’t insert a knife—it may cause cracking.

What if my cheesecake cracks?

No worries! The blueberry jam topping and whipped cream garnish are perfect for covering up imperfections.

Can I make this cheesecake gluten-free?

Yes. Use gluten-free graham crackers or cookies for the crust, and ensure your white chocolate and jam are certified gluten-free.

Can I double the recipe?

You can double the batter for a taller cheesecake, but you’ll need a larger pan (10 or 12 inches) and a longer baking time. Monitor carefully to prevent overbaking.

Final Thoughts

White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake is not just a dessert—it’s a statement. The luxurious white chocolate base, the tangy burst of blueberries, and the buttery graham cracker crust all come together in perfect harmony. It’s elegant enough for special occasions and comforting enough for any day you need a slice of something beautiful.
